They want to tear $1B of funding out of mental and behavioral health care [View all]

Mental health care is abysmal in this country. The last thing we need is to slash funding and services! When I didn't have health insurance, my only care option was out of pocket. I could only afford the minimal med management, which was four 15 minute appointments each year. One hour of psych care per year! I'm struggling with bipolar and trauma and heaven knows what else. I need far more care than that! Shame on this misadministration, who targets the elderly, children, and the ill. They are weaving social darwinism back into the fabric of our society. It's Dickens for the digital age. #fuckers
